Communicating with Perl and Arduino

This talk will get you going using Arudino, an open-source electronics pro­totyp­ing plat­form. You will learn the "Hello, World" blink­ing LED sketch. From this basic sketch I will ex­pand to show you how to begin com­municat­ing with the Ar­duino and Perl. You will learn how to take input from the out­side world to con­trol events in your Perl pro­grams. You will learn how to con­trol the out­side world using Perl. These basic skills will open up your I/O world and you will use Perl to glue it togeth­er of co­ur­se. More in­for­ma­tion about Ar­duino can be found here, http://www.ar­duino.cc/.
